When a pet parent has to be away from home, either for a trip or
long hours at work, or becomes unable to care for a pet for some
other reason, e.g. illness, being able to keep the pet at home,
in the environment the pet knows, and being able to follow the
pet's routine, are very important to the pet's well-being.

Most pet parents
know their pet does not adjust well to a strange environment or
a break in routine.

HELPING PETS KEEP THEIR
ROUTINE IN THEIR OWN HOME IS
WHAT WE DO BEST!

We provide professional pet care
in the pet's home with personalized visits from 1 to 4 times a day, any
day of the year. We can even stay overnight on occasion.

We provide meals,
encourage exercise and playtime, clean up after accidents, administer medication, walk dogs, and
provide an array of other pet-care services to suit many needs.

This page outlines some of
the benefits and advantages of using our services ... but don't just
take our word for it, have a look at some of the testimonials from our many
satisfied clients.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
— those that are specific to a service we provide are outlined on the page
describing the service.

Your pet stays in his/her own familiar, secure environment where all
sights, smells and sounds say "Home!" — this means your pet will not be
stressed and will eat. It also means your pet will be able to sleep
(boarding facilities and kennels are loud places where pets often lack
the ability to sleep because of constant noise from other pets).

DIET & EXERCISE

Customary diet and exercise routines are followed, because an interruption
in either or both of these could stress your pet's healthy regiment.

no travel trauma

Driving your vehicle to bring your pet(s) to a boarding facility or a kennel is avoided.

HEALTH CONCERNS

With in-home pet care, the risks of exposure to illness of other
animals, e.g. kennel cough or fleas, are eliminated. In addition,
medication and medical treatment is provided on time by a professional
and qualified sitter.

VET NOTIFICATION CARD

This free card from Loving Paws & House Sitting lets you notify your
Veterinarian that you are using our services, that you authorize us to
act as your representative and make decisions in consultation with your
Veterinarian to stabilize your pet's health during an emergency, and
that the Veterinarian may provide stabilizing treatment up to a dollar
amount specified by you on the card.

TLC FROM A HEARTFELT FRIEND

Your pet can bond with a sitter and receive love and personal attention
from him/her.

You won't need to drive your pet(s) to the home of a friend or of
another family member,
or to a boarding facility or kennel; and you won't need to drive to pick
up your pet(s) afterwards. We do the driving!

NO IMPOSITION

You won't need to impose on a friend, a family member, or a neighbour to help care for your pet. Instead, you can rely on a dedicated professional whose job it is to give priority to the needs of your pet before anything else.

SECURITY

We are insured & bonded, which means you are covered and protected if something unexpected happens. Also, your home is made more secure since regular visits to your home give it that "lived in" look that deters criminals — a benefit you and your home insurance provider
should surely appreciate.

NO WORRIES

While you are away, you can feel confident that your pet is in capable, qualified caring hands. Our sitters are trained in pet first aid, CPR, and emergency care; they are familiar with the contents of our Emergencies Handbook;
and they have regular access to experts with years of experience in the animal health care field.

SPECIAL SERVICES

We offer additional medical care services that friends, neighbours or kennels would not normally provide. And while caring for your pet, we can also
provide many free value-added services like watering your plants and bringing in your mail, newspapers, etc.

We are insured & bonded. Your home will be made more secure against
possible crime because our regular visits will make it appear like it is
actively "lived in".

FREE PRE-VACATION PREP-CHECKLIST

Please review our checklist and use it to prepare before your absence from home.

DAILY HOME INSPECTION

While away, you can feel confident that your home will be less damaged if, for example, a water or gas pipe leaks or bursts. Our sitter's regular visits will ensure ongoing monitoring and inspection of your home's status and any problem will be promptly addressed.

EMERGENCY CONTACT NOTIFICATION CARD

This free card from Loving Paws & House Sitting lets you notify the emergency contact person you identify on our service agreement that you are using our services, that he/she may be called by us in case of emergency, and to notify the sitter or police if he/she becomes aware of anything suspicious in or around your home.
